The good town of Mschias has lost one of
its most esteemed residents, and Washington
county and the State of Maine have lost one
of the best of citizens, in the death of Hon.
Tgnatius Sargent
His name was synonym for integrity,
public spirit and patriotism, and his life has
been full of the respect of those among whom
his lot was cast. Quiet, uuassuming and
kindly in all his impulses, he was firm as a
rock where principle was involved, and true
as steel to every demand of duty.
For many years he has been one of the
most prominent citizens of Eastern Maine, and
his death leaves another vacancy in the fast
thinning ranks of the strong men of his gen.
Grafton who had much to do with the guild
snce of the public affairs.
He has faithfully performed every duty as
q citizen, and scrupulously discharged every
trust reposed in him. The mourning for his
loss will be sincere and earnest, and among
those who grieve that he has been taken away
the writer sorrows for the departure of an
honored friend.-W Wing.

The Kentucky Election.

1t is getting to be matter of comment
if not suspicion. among the repub
licaus of the State that the returns
from the State election held in Kentucky
on Monday have not been all made. Such
delay in receiving complete returns in this
democratic stronghold has never been
known. Among the first to send forth the
result OF the polls in former elections es
peciallv those occurring in Presidential
wears, has been this State. Something
unusual has however happened at this
election. There have been enormous
gains made by the republicans. Even the
democratic State committee admit that
their customary vote has been reduced
forty per cent. Tuesday night both parties
claimed the election of Governor, the re-
publcans by $4,000 majority and the DEM
ocrats by 10000 majority, These
were based upon estimates
of the vote, only about one half of the
State being at that time, heard from. We'd
nesday not enough additional towns and
cities were heard from to allow either
party any material advantage although
the returns still showed democratic losses.
Thursday the republicans were disappoint-
ed in not receiving returns as rapidly as
expected and there were indications that
the returns from certain districts were
being held ba,k by the democrats; later
